Beyond Tinker Bell: Disney and Blu-ray Enhance the Movie Experience - Page 4

Of all the bonus features, they definitely liked the games (the Tinker Trainer and BD trivia) better than the featurettes. And they definitely caught onto the fact that the video clips that show up along with the questions give you the answers a lot faster than I did. We’re not set up for multiple players and it would have gone smoother if we’d had more than the remote and one game control. I was excited when reading all about the Disney BD-Live Network. By the end of our screening, I realized that the reality of it is even more impressive. Mickey, Minnie, Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and all their friends have always been a part of my life. As our family grows, our nieces and nephews are now having kids of their own. It's nice to know that Disney will stay true to their course and keep raising the bar for generations to come.

Other related news that's very cool to me as a Tink fan. On November 10, 2008, in celebration of the Blu-ray and DVD release of Tinker Bell, the world famous Madame Tussaud's in London immortalized this beguiling pixie. This waxworks company is well known for celebrating people and characters that have made their mark on society. This is the first time they have ever bestowed that honor on a fairy before. Standing five and a half inches tall, this is the smallest wax figure in the history of the legendary museum. A painstaking process that normally takes weeks of preparation and hard work, Tink’s size and delicate features made the need for a steadier hand and precision sculpting all the more extensive. I think they did an incredible job.

    This is a fantastic review, thank you! I especially enjoyed the reaction of the five-year old girls to the movie, it is exactly what one might hope for and, in my mind, possibly proof that the movie is successful. (Can't help wondering what would have happened if you'd slipped a five-year old boy in there!)

    I have written a page about Disney blu-ray movies and have included a link to your review as well as quoted some of your comments. I would be thrilled if you would visit and leave your opinion of the movie.

    I think great reviews like this can be of wonderful assistance to parents looking for movie information.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi Brenda!

    The original panel was four children, three girls and one boy. We had to re-schedule when two siblings were sick that weekend, one of which was the boy. He had a previous engagement (birthday party) the following week that trumped our screening. None of the girls wanted to invite any boys from their class because they were all "eeewwww" which I think was their version of having cooties.

    I'm so glad that you liked the review and am honored that you linked to in on your website.

    Thanks for reading.
